Tho Popular Vote •System. A grey many carneshepublicans Of this county! arc inclin to ie belief that the adoption 'of the popular 'vote system here'l Will not stimulate country Republicans to at. tend ohr primary meetings. To,such as these, we commend the , following which. appeared in the Philadelphia Press the morning sue. ceeding the primary meetings', in Lancaster county a few •seks ago. The Crawford county plan: works well, and in both trials' given the system in that county,,it had the effect of bringing more Republicans to the , primary meetings than ever attended before:: "Our• special dispatch this morning from Lanaister cmihty„igiving , the result of the delegate electi nsTheld there on Saturday, bears remarka Itesttillto the practical -working of whats • pularly known as the, Crawford county's) Under the rule of that4i. stem the etion was conducted, and we Jußc l / 4 a return of 0, 93 votes 'cast=filmost sevbn thousand. ' In 18F the Republican vote of Lancaster county east at the general elec tion for Judge - Williams was 12,709 ' • in 1866 for Governor Geary, 14,592; in 1803 for Gen. end 'llartranil, 11,109 ; in 1801 for President Lincoln, 11 ; 169. During the last four years,' cnibracing a Presidential, gubernatorial ju , dicial and general state election, the average Republican vote of; the county polled at a , 1 general election has amounted to 1:3,02. Onl flaturdaS• more than half that number of votes' were brought out at a primary election. This I , speaks volumes for 'the system: that elicited them. , Tho.e. familiar. with the, ordinary working of the machinery of the government know how very rarely a primary, or deltigate vete approaches fifty or even twenty_ per • cent. of the full strength of the party. Most generally, under the old system, twenty-five or thirty hacks, in the back room ofa tavern, redolent with the fumes of bad whisky and niOrse tobacco, determine the whole matter for a ward or townships of from three to five . .hundred voters." Under the delegate system or nominating, candidates make it a point to visit and consult . only with the five or six leading men ()resell township. These same five or six persons are called upon by all of the candidates. They alt-inks it for granted If the influence of these can be secured, they are "all right" i n that township. Th . ° quiet, unobtrusive liepubli- ,cans are thus not visited by candidates at all. They arc left to he managed by the "leaders," and the result is they either stay sway frail the'prlmary meetings entirely, or else they • feel so little interested in the candidates as to • voto for just such men as Mr. A. requests theM to. The popular . vote plan will work a reform in that particular. Akter its adoption every 'Republi can in the county' will know that his vote will count on.l for the men of his choice. • „Emery candidate will know the same thing, itial instead of all the candidates visiting onl3f the sametive or sixprommentrnen in each township, they will make it a point to call upon all—the quietintelligent and unpre tending, as well as upon the noisy alai conse quential. This , state of things will bring shout a better feeling among rural Republi cans, they will take a lively interest in the respective candidates, ,atttEnd thej primary meetings, and do all, they can for their favor , itea. Nor will the interest thus awakened, "die nut" with the primary meetings.

On the contrary we know.that most of them are honest, faithful men, and in tent on carryingAut the Will of the people as they understand It ;• but Ville this is true of a .large majority, it is equa y true that a email minority generally final their way into coun ty conventions who , arc more anxious 'about themselves than they are about the will of their constitnenta or their party's success. They look over the thildiafter they get to the coun ty sett, "they are Seen" by professional "log rollers" or scheming politicians, and edked• to in this way: "ton can vote for the men for, hom you am instructed the first time, but if they are not successful then give Mr- So ob So a lift after that He and his friends will remember the kindness, and when you area candidate they will repay it." 'Whether these promises are made in gOod faith or not, they have their effect, and it very frequently. happens that when delegates aro casting their firat vote in accordanceovritk their home in structions, their influence Is in another direc tion, and they are doing all in their power to nothinate candidates who -received no votes In the townships they represent. 'Bence it is that the singular spectacle is.often presented to us of , a candidate coming into a convention with the greatest number of delegates instruct ed for him, and yet going out of it without a nomination. • And who among us cannot re call a number of instances of a candidate coming into our county convention's with scarcely any delegates at ail to back him, and yet coining off "more than victor" before the convention, adjourned? If disposed to do so, we could point our readers tolnany cases of 'this character. In alt Of these instances com binations Were formed among the delegates,- scheming politicians wore the "go-betweens," they knc their men, and by promising to do this thing and that thing for this delegate and that elegate at some future time, they were enabled to defeat just who they pleased and nominate almost any .man they desired. The whole thing was (Rine on the principle "if you tickle me I'll tickle you," and the pco•, pie as a general thing were left in blissful ig norance asto ho'w it was brought about.— "One of the People" professes to believe that all delegates are honest and faithful, and that nothing oft his character takes place, but upon what other hypothesis can ho explain the stubborn facts that in two cases out of three the candidates having the highest number of delegates are defeated and 'the one's having the lowest number are frequently nominated? The drift of his argument is intended tc show that power may aheaki be entrusted to representatives of the peops T Our observa tion goes to show that poWer is safer in the , ; e, hands of the people themselves. Let us llus tette this : A few weeks ago the Dem rats l of this county instructed their representatives to nominate either J. M. Hartford or S. T . Hamilton as their - candidate for the • Legisla. turc. '• These 'representatives threw their in structions back into 'the faces'of their constit uents,atfter coming to Beaver, and nominated John White, a gentleman who had not re' ceived a single vote from the people for that position. The people irithis instance were brazenly betrayed, and the power conferred upon their representatives, wasnbused. A month or two ago the Republican State Convention Instructed the Pennsylvania del egates to vote as a unit in .the Chicago Con vention for A. 9. Curtin for Vice President. Three 'or four of the representatives of the 1 party violated these instructions, and not only voted against 3fr. Curtin at Chicago, but la- bored night and day .to compass his defeat. It the people-1)f the 'United States• had voted ten days ago on the question Of convicting the President of high crimes and misdemeanors , he would have been adjudged guilty, but the people's representatives in- the Senate pro nounced him innocent, and - thus gave .a new lease of power to the greatest usiirper and criminal of our times. These instances are sufficient to show that power is not always safe in the hands of representativesand rarely abused while held by the people. The opportunities for committing frauds are no better under the popular vote system than near the present one. In both cases the voting is i done ~by ballot. Three men are chosen to - reeelve the ballots, count the vote k • and announce the result. If these three would band togetbOr,' and commit moral perjury un der the pdpular vote plan and declare an un true result, would they not do the same under the delegate system ? Their obligations are the same under either plan, and if they were disposed to s i windlo their party they could do it as stealthily and as efficiently under one system as under the other The restraints of one are thrown around both, and as an addi tional check upon frauds,a registry is provid ed and must be kept under the Crawford sys tem, of all who take part in the meetings. • Our correspondent still insists that the pop- War vote_ plan was tried in Philadelphia and 1 Pittsburgh and abandonbtl. -We think he is inisMiten.. Soma other plan was tried in these cities, as is evident from the fact that the Philadelphia. Press and Pittsburgh Commer cial ha're and.ure still urging the Republicans of their respective counties to, adopt the Craw ford county Plan. If it was tried once, and found defective these papers would not now - `l3e.elamoring to have it tried again, "Suppose we have next year ten candidates for Sheriff. Nine of the ten receive two hun drefl votes each, ancl the tenth r eceives two hundred and one.. The last would be , the nominee, notwithstanding he may be the last choice of all those who voted for the other nine. In that case 1790 would not equal 201. —"Ono of (lie People," That is an oxtremerase and one that is not likely to occur in a lifetime. But suppose it would happen frequently, in what respect would it be worse than the delegate system? In Beaver say we have 200 RePpblican voters. 49 of these go for Mr. A., 49 for Mt. 8., 49 go Or Mr. C. and 53 go for Mr. D. fort Register s Recorder. Under the present system Mr: D gets the delegates and aft the political pow- Sr of the borough. The other candidates are of heard of in the convention, yet they had 1 WI votes while he bad but 53 In this in- Stance nearly three-fourths of all the voters of Beaver are disfranchised. Take another in stance: In Brighton township there are say 181 Republican voters., Let there be ten can didates for Sheriffnext year. Nine of the ten receive eight votes each, and the tenth re ceives rine votes: Under the delegate sys tem the last would get the vote of all the del egates from the township, and tbonincothers though having seventy.two of the eighty-one votes, would be thrustaslde and treated as if they had not received a single vote from the people. "In that ease" seventy-two "votes would not equal" nine! By a inaltiplication of candidates a similar result may be reached in every township of the county, and a can didate given newho "puky be the last choice of all - those who voted for the other nine." But why expose his sophistry any further ? "'would now tisk - where it (the popular vote system) has worked well," says oar cor respondent. We answer wherever it has been fairly. tried.- In Westmoreland, in -Venaugn, In Armstrong, in Mercer, Butler, Crawford, Eric, Warren and-other counties It has been tested, and the longer It has. beanie use the more highly is it commended. The remark if it le oncendopted here, And proves unsatis factory, it will take "ten years totrepeal sounds like a reflection upon the intelligence of theßepublican voters of the county. A free people may be tardy in adopting reforms but they, are never slow in correcting palpa ble abuses. lithe Crawford county system is adopted this season, and works badly next, It will be abandoned the following year with out resistance. The question °redacting the popular vote system in this Congresnond district or through out 14.9 sok, is not now before the people.— When it is It can be discussed. Until then we shall let it rest. • Finally t Let us look upon the Meeintro as an experiment, adopt It as such andm it a fair trial. To do so will work no warm to private individuals nor to the public general ly. We owe thismuch to that largenumberbf sturdy Republicans in the county iy ho are dissatietied with our present fsyste 'hey have talked in favor of a change - for cars but a change has never been given to them. They have therefore kept aloof from the primary meetings of their party. The adoption of the Crawford system now will revive them polit ically. They will again take hold, gather un der their party banner, help us to nominate our tickets, and aid us in fighting our "corn- Mon enemy." The National Rejublican Convention met at Chicago - on the 20th, and adjourned on Thursday evening the 22d. The ticket nom inated will be found at the head of our .edito rial column. It is a strong ono and its suc cess is a foregone conclusion. The names of Grant and Colfax are known all over the ,country, awl none know them but to honor them. The nomination' of these two distin guished individuals is received all over the country with the wildest enthusiasm., and we will be disappointed if they do not receive more electoral votes than were ever given to any two candidates before since the Govern ment was established: The convention was presided over tempo iarily by Gen. Carl Schurz, of Missouri. Ex (ovornor Hawley of Connecticut . was after wards selected as permanent President of the Convention. When the nomination of a can didate for President of foe United States was in order, Gen. Johnsl. Logan of Illinoisnom inated Gen. Grant. No other' name was an nbunced for that office. The roll of the States was then called, and every ono voted unani mously for that greatest of living soldiers, Gen. U. S. Grant of Illinois. Some five or sit candidates were then - put in nomination for Vice President. These were supported by short, neat speeches from the clay men of the respedtive State • delega tions. The first vote stood as follows: Wade 149; Fenton 132; Wilson 119; Colfax 118; Curtin 52 ; Hamlin 20. Remainder scattering. On the sth ballot Colfax was nominated, Pennsylvania deciding the contest by voting; for Colfax. The following is the platform adopted by the Convention : The National Republican party of the United States, nssembled in National Convention in the city of Chi. cago, on the 20th 'day of Nay, 1%8, make the follow ing declaration of principles : fat. We congratulate the country on the mewed - success of the reconstruction policy of Congress, as evinced by the adoption in a majority of the Stares' lately in rebellion of constitntione amain g equal civil and political nghts to all.and regard it as the duty of the Government to enetain those Metitutions and to present the people of such States from being re mitted to a state of anarchy.

The guarantee by Congress of &final Re tracts to all loyal men at the South was demanded by every consideration of public safety of gratitude and Or leaden and mom* o.a minor, tion of etarrette In all the loyal States property be long') to the people of those States. [Cheent.l Third. We denounce all forms of repudiation as a National crime, [prolonged cheers.] and National heror requires the payment of the pnbli , .• indebted: ness in the utmost good faith to alt creditors at home and abroad, not only according to the letter but the 'Wit. of the taws under which it was contracted.— EA pplansel Fourth. It is due to the labor of the nation that taxation should be equalized and reduced as rapidly as the National faith will permit. Fifth. The !Congeal debt, contracted as it has b&ea for the preservation of the Union. for all time to come. should be extended over s fair retied for re. deception, and it is the duty of Congress to reduce the rate of interest thereon whenever it CU honestly I be done. Sixth. That the best policy to dim Minh our burden of debt is to so improve our credit that capital will seek to loan money at lower rates of Interest than we now, pay and must continue to pay so long as repudi ation, partial or total, open or covert, in threatened or suspected. Seventh. The Government of the United States should be administered with.the strictest' economy. and the corruptions which have been so shamefully nursed and fostered by Andrew Johnson call loudly for radical reform. Eighth. We profoundly deplore the untimely and tragic death of Abraham Lincoln. and regret the ac cession of Andrew Johnson to the Presidency, who has acted treacherously to the people who elected him and the cause he was pledged to support; has mimed high legislative and judicial functions ; has refused to execute the laws ; has used his Web office to induce other officers to ignore and violate the I laws ; has employedl his executive powers to reneer insecure the property, peace, liberty, and life of the citizen ; has ebneed the pardoning power, has de nounced the National Legislature as nneonetitutional; has persistently and corrnpUy resisted by every measure in his power every proper attempt at the re construction of the States lately In rebellion ; has perverted the public patrenAge Into an engine of wholesale corruption, and has been justly Impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and properly pro nounced guilty thereof by the vote of thirty-five sena tore. • Ninth. The doctrine of Great Britain and other Barone= powers that because a man is once a sub ject he is always so, must be resisted at every hazard by the United States as a relic of the feudal times notauthorized by the law of nations, and at war with our national honor and Independence. Naturalized citizens are entitled to be protected in all their rights of citizenship. as thouch ther were native born; and no . citizen of the United Btatea, native or naturalized. must Do liable to arrest and imprisonment by any for ef&i, power for acts done or word' spoken in this coun tn.., and if so arrested and traprisoned it Is the duty of the Government to interfere In his behalf. Tenth. Of ell who were faithful in the trials of the late war there %connote entitled to more especial bon. or than the brave soldiers and seamen who endured the hardships of campaign and cruise, and imperilled their lives in the service of the country. The boun ties and pensions provided by law for these brave de fenders of the nation are obligations never to be for gotten. The widows and orphans of the gallant dead are the wards of the people, a sacred legacy bequeath ed to the nation's protecting care: Eleventh. Foreign emigration, which In the past has added so ranch to the wealth. development of re. meows and increase of power to this nation, the asy lum of the oppretised of all nations, should bo foster- ed and encouraged by a liberal and jest policy. Twelfth. This convention declares its sympathy with all the oppressed people which aro struggling fur their rights. Mr. Thompson, Chairman from' the C C otnmftteo on Resolutions, reported the fol.owing additional resolu tion : • Reßam!, That the adjournment of this Convention shall not work a dissolutlon of the same, but ICshall remain es organized. snbject to be called together again at any time and place that the National Republi can Exeentive Committee shall designate, A /lorded. General Schnra—l will now read what I intended to ask the Convention to adopt as an independent reso dution • Rasolved. That we highly commend the spirit of magniutimitv and forgiveness with which men who have servedlhe rebellion, but now frankly and honest ly, co•operste with us In restoring the peace Bove country, and reconstructing the Southern State- ernments upon the basis of impartial justice and equal rights, are received back into the communion of the loyal peeple, and we favor the removal of the dienual ifications.and restrictions imposed upon the latereh els in the same measure as the spirit of disloyaltjewill direct, and as may be cone,stent with the safety of the loyal people. [Cries "Good, good.") That is my first amendment. It seems to me that the platform of the Republican party ought to contain et least a recognition of the great charter of ourrighte and liberties. the Declaration of Independence. I wonld; therefore, move that the following resolutions be added to those already reported by the Committee : I Resolved, That we recognize the great principles laid down in the immortal declaration of Independence as the true foundation of democratic government, and we hall with gladness every effort toward making these principles a living reality on every inch of American soil. Mr. Mcelnre, by the unanimous vote of the Pennsyl venial delegation. seconded the motion for the adop tion of these resolutions. Mr. Gooch. of Massaehnsetts—l ash.

Dishonesty ; and triceery cannot thrive lit such a soil.— Neither is this presnmthan warranted by oeir pastexperienites The of delegatta violating theirinstrnetirms are very rare. One or two cases of dishonorable men Acting po may be pointedent, but certainly none in the past five yearas It has been frequently re marked, that in this county delegates stick too closely or too long. Last year, it seethed for some time, as if no candidate would be nom imsted lor Assembly, because delegates would not quit voting for the candidates for whom they were instructed, although it was evident that same of them.were, not entitled, and had no chance of a nomination. When delegates violate their instructions they are generally not returned. They vote publicly. Every ' one knows of their treachery, and their con demnation is certain. The best men of the Townships are generally found in the conven tions—intelligent andmp-right men, who do not, and - who cannot be pursufele& to swerve from the discharge of their bounden duty— .men who cannot be controlled by cliques or cabals, lissome unscrupulous politicians of the coppery stripe pretend to think. Every year more carets manifested in the' ' selection of delegates. Under our present . system there has seldom been anyjnot ground of complaint, and none since the &r ad has tak on the place of marking. No plan ever has or, ever can be adopted that is entirely free from objections, and I do -not undertake to claim perfection for the present mode, but only con tend that it is better than the one proposed. If fraud may be perpetrated now I contend that if the change is made the temptation will' be the grcator,;and the opportunities better. The election officers, not being sworn, how, easy it is for the Mends of a particular candi date to secure the appointment of men favor-, able to their candidate. When the election is over, they can and may change , the result.! The doors are closed for the count. Different ' tickets may be substituted for those voted, and . a different result secured. The men who Swould betray their constituents, in convene tion, would not hesitate and could more effects tally betray them in this way.No one could ' certainly detect the fraud, because 'no one, would go to each rote; to fi nd hOw they, voted, and if they did it is easy to, arose a mistake was made in selecting a ticke , This system was adopted in Pittsburgh and - . ' abandoned, because the stuffing of the ballots box was so notorious it came very near de feating the party. After a trial they were forced to return' to the delegate system. le I Philadelphia the same result followed the adoption of the popular vote system. Even' admitting that politicians may influence deice gates Co some extent s there is a wider field opened up to them by the popular vote eye tern. Men are , more apt to resort to fraud when it can begone insecret than in the open pvilalle ~.ono. ! -..-.. . The present stay of nonsTnating semis no t ; only the best tut fairest in my opinion. We vote directly for candidates, and the one rer I calving the most votes in the township re4l oeives the votes of the detentes. In case his nomination then fails,the delegates may vote ; for the next strongest man, in the tsiwnship,ifl lie has any chance of nomination. A majori r 1 ty of deleeates is required to nominate, 'and• l this requires a majority of the popular vote, i Delegates but express the declared will of their constituents. Under the popular vote system a plurality nominates. Suppose we have next year ten candidates for Sheriff.=, 1 Nino of theten receives two hundred' votes' each, and the tenth receives two hundred and one. The leis would be the nominee, not withstanding he may be the last choice of all those who voted for the other nine. 4n that case, 1790 votes, would not equal 201. 1 Local Sympathies may secure the nominee this vote at home, and of all the candidates he as the' most unfit. This will often happen. : There is no secondehoice. One vote may nominate, when if submitted to the people be would re ceive no more than ho had, and either of the others would, as Against him, receive all the balan, co: There is no justice nor safety in such a mode. Weak and incompetent men will be thrust on the party, and the result prOve dis astrous. If twenty candidates were in the field one hundred and one votes might nom inate. This being the case a shrewd man would have the candidates multiplied that he might secure hit own nomination. This, to , me, is an irresiatable argument against the proposed system. It may be urged that this is so in elections. True, but theremen differ from principle and there can be no other mode of determining the result. In t he case stated it is among friends, of the ci party, where there is a better method arriving at the result. It is wrong then in rinciple. A small minority has no rig,ht to c ontrol a large majority,' as they may and I.do. This is a government based on nsijor iese It is wrong in policy, I n because it will fi shnet the party and create a prejudice .beten country and town. It opens the doe ider for fraud. I bare te if cited Pittsburg and Philadelphia asinstancea Crawford couny I referred too last week. It divided the.pary there at the time referred too, and nearlyeestmyed it. It was charged by bath partiesthat the ballot-boxes ha tlb eon stuffed, and pehaps it was trne of both. I would now askylicre it has worked well f But we are toldii It does not work well it can be abandoned. This is a mistake. Once adopted and a Change 'will be as , diMeult as its adoption. !ire have been ten years in ef fecting the chive, and the boroughs will take care that i shall take as long to repeal. But if this stern is so commendable why not extend its secretions!' If it is good for a county it is goci for a district.

EDITOU: fn a short tune the Primary meetings of the severarDistricts will be held PrePansiorY ts7thci county Convention which will meet mines first of June. - , - It will be seen , by the full ' of the Chair- Mart of the County Committee, that the , people aretrequested In obedience to a - resolution pas sed at the last annual Convention, to instruct their delegates, in regard to the;g, adoption or not—of the Papolar System of choosing can didates, for the,viirions, offices' to be filled at the general elect's:in In October next. • The present system of nomhultink candi dates, is not satisfactory, and Isuppose would hue been awarded long since, but for the fear on the part_of many judicione-men, this the populaso-cared), would prove to be almost, if not quite As objectionable as that now f in use. . , • There arc certainly some serious objections to its being adopted. It would give to the boroughs and towns an undue advantage in the selecttob of candidates Over the large and thinly populated districts. On occasions the whole vote of the boroughs might be got to gether to secure the nomination of al favorite candidate, while it is unreasonahle to expect that such townships as 'Hanover or New Se wickley, can at any time get out over half of their voters to a primary meeting. Another objection is, that antler the popular system there would be temptations to commit little frauds under cover of voting 'by proxy,: &a., ite., at any rate disappointed candidates and their friends, would suspect, and charge frauds. Where there had been nothing nt all unfair. We all knote.tkt candidates when canvassing :the county previous to the primary meetings, are leri to expect snore support than they can pcnsibly obtain: Again,the number of candidate; is so large that the returns would be tronb ,iesome to count,and where the contest was a ,closeone,the footings would have to be run up two or three times to make sure that no er rors had been made. I beg leave to offer for the consideration of the electors of the county, a plan which in my judgment, is free from most of the objec tions urged against both the present and pop tier system. -Let the number of delegates from each Elec tion district aS tlpportioned by the county committee. renimn as at present ; and for nil purposes of organizing the convention. pas sing resolutions Ac., etc.. let the vote be taken as we have been; accustomed to have it taken, but In the selection of candidate's for office let each district cast as many votes as the whole number of Ilepubbean , votes cast at the pre , vious.generul election divided kv ten,—thus district containing fifty republican voters would be entitled to fire votes in convention. 11 district of 'one hundred voters ten votes, for fractions, of ' five or over, one additional vote: - Wlth such a system as this, every district in the county would have a nominating pow er exactly equal to Its elective strength. Can the smaller districts reasonably ask for more Can it be expected that the larger districts will be satisfied withlanytbing less' Respectfully yours, BENJ. WADS. New Brighton, May 18, 1888. The Capitol—Our Candidates Ser. enaded--Grant Makes a Speceh— Illis Past Action his Guarantee for the Fature—Speech of Speak. er Colfax.. • Special Dispatch to the' Commercial. Wasiralcoronr, 11:30 r. ar.,'llay 22, 1868. The Republicans of this city gave General °rant azl Opt:ahoy Clolfai a aorvnarte this evening, and thus opened the campaign- of 1868. Two or three thousand persons were out, among them Ming many ladies, and the affair passed off in the most delightful man ner. The crowd assembled at the Baltimore depot and from that point, led by two bands, proceeded to the residence of General Grant, where about one thousand individuals were gathered. The General, in response to calls, appeared in the door of his house, surrdnoded by a large number of friends, awing -whom were several members of Congress. The in troduction to the serenaders was made by Governor Boutwell, who briefly and eloquent lyid allud to the General's military career and his big qualities of wisdom and patriotism. He told im he would have to meet in the coming ontest the same clas . Fa, with some honor° e exceptions,that opposed him during the war for the Union, and congratulated the country on having chosen a leader,pf such high e erecter and sound judgment. The General: was eildently much embarrassed when it came his turn to speak, bat the words he %aid were apt and characteristic and when he modestly closed with the idea that his ac tion in the past, must he his guarantee for the future, there was' a hearty and unanimous cheer of "That's right," with much shouting, clapping of hands and expressions of conl9- dence_and good feeling. ... The doors of the General's parlor were then thrown open, and everybody went in to pay his personal respects to the next President and his wife. Prom General Grant's the serenadingparty went to the residence of Speaker Colfax, a mile Or more away, and that gentleman, in re sponie to the cry of "Three cheers for Schuy ler Colfax, our next Vice President," came to his door and was introduced to the gathering by Congressman , Pike, of Maine, in a few properly chosen words. His response was of about five minutes length, and is character ized as one of the finest speeches ever made in Washington on such an occasion.' The crowd applauded him loudly at many points, and every body seemed much impressed with his feeling and earnestness: Here, as at General mnt's, the doors were thrown open, and men and woman passed in and shook hands with Mr. Colfax, The proceedings of the evening closed at eleven o'clock, everything having been ear ned through.with heartiness and enthusiasm. srEcen Oi G 1 N. GRANT Gen. Grant said:—Gentleman, being entire ly quiceustented to public speaking and with out admire to cultivate that power,[laughter] it is impossible for me to find appropriate language to.thank you for this demonstration. All that I can say is this, that to whatever po sition I maybe called by your will, I shall en deavor to discharge its duties with fidelity and honesty of purpose and rectitude. Of the performance of public duties - you will have to judge for yourselves by my record before you. Three cheers were then given for General Grant. Hundreds of the crowd then entered the house and congratulated the General. . The procession then moved to the residence of Speaker Colfax. Calls having been made for Lim, Le appeared'at the door of his resi dence, in company with. representatiVe Pike, of Maine, who in a few remarks introduced Mr. Colfax. The latter said: • SPEECH orinc. COLFAX. a • My friends, I thank you with alh_'the emo tions of a grateful heart for this flattering manifestation of your confidence and regard.
